The weird green Ball thingy???

[[han]]

so you were being serious, im sure it was called something else!! LOL! ahwell... it looks like one of them!! might clean my car tom seein as i have nowt else to do!

[Haribo!]

i think it must be because i have a better carb , sorted, thankgod i dont need it, i chucked in a bush in frustration the other day

[rubjonny]

You might need it depending on how the carb is set up.  On a stock carbed model, theres a long green vacuum pipe from the thick brake servo vacuum tube, which runs round the front of the carb and splits into 2 pipes, one to the pull down unit and the other to the vacuum reservoir.

The one I'm talking about is labled A & B:

weird, i dont have the green cable, i think my carb set up has been altered, i have no idea how or why, heres a good example, it started life with an automatic choke, but its had a manual choke put on it insted,

 this is the green ball in situe! lol... (the green ball thing.. funnily enough?!)

i made  my lil bro figure out what it is.. we're stumped... (well obv i am) one cable don't got anywhere and the other half of where it splits into 2 goes somewhere but we cudn't find it!)

if youve still got a pierburg carb it should have a small pipe coming from it to the carb and another air hose going from the carb, but iv you have a weber, you bypaas the carb and connect these 2 together, wil get a pic
